void start()
{
long [] a1 = {3,4,5};
long [] a2 = fix(a1);
System.out.print(a1[0] + a1[1] + a1[2] + " ");
System.out.println(a2[0] + a2[1] + a2[2]);
}

long [] fix(long [] a3)
{
a3[1] = 7;
return a3;
}
}

A.	12 15	B.	15 15
C.	345375	D.	375375

Answer and Explanation

Answer:15 15

Explanation:
The reference variables a1 and a3 refer to the same long array object. When the [1] element is updated in the fix() method, it is updating the array referred to by a1. The reference variable a2 refers to the same array object.
So Output: 3+7+5+" "3+7+5
Output: 15 15 Because Numeric values will be added
